Formfolding is a conceptual, physical, and intuitive approch to metalsmithing that is informed by the natural chatacteristics of metals. Rather than forcing form upon a material, this system exploits the inherent qualities of plasticity, ductility, and elasticity in metals, offring a significant new series of procedures that are extremely efficient for generating hundreds of unique, three-dimensional forms. Formfolding has been recognized by the British Museum Research Laboratory as a completely new approach to working metals with hand tools, chosen by the Rolex Awards for Enterprise Committee, and has been featured in a book on innovative developments in science and invention in the world.
